Good Morning everyone. I hope you had a good weekend.
Today im sharing a birthday card made with the lovely poppy die. Mostly made out of snippets and left overs again. Always feels good to make a small dent in the scrap box😀. That is my plan for this year to try and use as much of my scrap box as possible.......
5x7 White cardblank. For the background i started with 2 pieces of small card, the green script piece and blue polka dot, in the end i cut the green piece in half lenghtwise and the polka dot in half shortwise. This just meant as i knew they would be part hidden behind my topper that i could 'stretch' them to make the pieces look bigger. I mounted them onto a piece of chocolate birthday script card and then the base.
The white window die cut was left over from my Christmas cards. I backed it with a piece of beige birthday card. I die cut poppies from red and yellow left over pieces. The red is candied apple oxide ink and the yellow is fossilized amber and marmalade oxide inks, they had been stenciled over the top in the same oxide inks. I added one whole poppy die cut to the left panel and then made up the rest and the yellow ones by cutting the die cut poppy up into the poppy heads and then arranged them in the window panels.
Green foliage die cut from green inked card scraps and mini butterflies also from little scraps of blue inked cardstock. Glitter glue highlights and gems to finish. I haven't added a main sentiment as the background is covered in Happy Birthdays to get the message across.
Close up, you can really see the stencil detail in the poppies.
Items Used:
Pennyblack Poppy die
MFT window frame die
Memory box tiny butterfly dies
Foliage die
Birthday printed card, polka dot card - Anna Marie designs
Oxide inks
Stencils
Stickles glitter glue, diamond & waterfall
